"With this extraordinary debut effort, 'An Invention of Accident' Phill Kuypers offers readers an intimate look into a wayward soul. The work is peppered with all the dust and grit of the American Midwest and delivered with a shameless, primal honesty as penetrating as a high powered jackhammer on a weathered slab of concrete. Kuypers' dark but ultimately hopeful reflections on love, change, and the nature of self are highly relatable and will be enjoyed by anyone from the most casual of readers to the most seasoned enthusiasts of the verse. Progressive, blue-blooded, and above all else, true, 'An Invention of Accident' breathes youthful new life into the weary nostrils of modern poetry. And though this new air might smell a little dusty, theres not a single hint of bullshit."
